Especially for those who are sewing beginners, wouldn't we all be well-served to be concerned about the accuracy of the name of a sewing technique, since that's what we're here to learn about and pass on to others? The English language is constantly being degraded as it is. Calling sewing techniques by their proper names helps to preserve our art and increases our ability to identify the range of fabric manipulations which were used in the past and are still available to use today. I certainly appreciate knowing what someone is talking about when they describe a garment, or ask me to make one for them!

Zivio!

When I saw "Idrija" I had to take a closer look! I'm a Slovene in Los Angeles and am of course interested in anything coming from Slovenia. I visited family in Nova Gorica in August, and we had planned a day in Idrija but it didn't work out unfortunately. My aunt is from there. Are you a student in a fashion program there, or was this a special project for anyone who wanted to do it? It looks like a fun challenge to take a traditional craft and adapt it to modern design concepts. Are there pictures of other people's work somewhere? I'm full of questions!

Lepa hvala!
